For best male rock vocalist ever I'm going with either Getty Lee of Rush or Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin.

Pop/rock male: Clay Aiken. Historical: Neil Diamond
Pop/rock female: Kelly Clarkson. Historical: Shirley Bassey
Country male: Alan Jackson. Historical: Johnny Cash
Country female: Carrie Underwood. Historical: Ann Murray
They're in awfully fast company, and none are etched in stone (except Shirley Bassey)

Maynard James Keenan from Tool/A Perfect Circle is probably at the top of my list.
I also really like Layne Staley, Phil Anselmo, Corey Taylor (Slipknot and Stone Sour) and Chad Gray (Mudvayne, Hell Yeah).
Then there are classics like Rob Halford, Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant.
I'm not sure what genre to put Freddie in. Theatrical? I agree though, no one can compare to him. He had the voice and the showmanship and knew how to entertain.

I think we should argue this without saying Freddie Mercury. He's clearly #1, no other male singer is even in his league.
Beyond him... I think the guy from Opeth, Mikael Akerfeldt is an incredibly talented singer.

Arethra Franklin, hands down (before she got old and so fat she can't breathe).
Freddie Mercury and Maynard James Keenan are both incredible.

Maynard!
Staley, Cornell, Weiland, Corey Taylor and Anthony Kiedes. For Country I like Don Williams (Garth Brooks can suck it). I'm a huge fan of Neil Diamond and Billy Joel. I think the dude from The Killers is pretty good.
For Chicks there is Fiona Apple, but I like the chick from Flyleaf and the chick from Garbage. Carrie Underwood needs a spankin.......
